This is the last straw!
To think that the first blog I post right after my internet connection regained, would be due to anger (again). I promised myself to write less of negative stuff cos it is not good to be always angry and brooding over things which I cannot control. But this time, I lost my cool again.
Very trivial incident it may seem, but when history repeats itself over and over again, I really feel like a pressure cooker exploding. Just imagine you took some nice videos of a cute baby, and had waited for weeks to specially show it to people. They viewed the video 50% of the time, and during the remaining 50%, they were half looking at a website and half observing the parts of the camera, and even looking into the viewfinder!! Wouldn’t you be angry if you were me? I felt as though I was not being treated with any respect at all, because similar situations have happened many times before. And that was not the end. I put on an angry front and some insensitive person still cared to joke and jostle around, and even deliberately stepped on my foot!!! To make the "joke" even more funny, my chair was taken away from me while I was switching on my laptop to test the internet connection. If you knew that you had made somebody angry, would you still sit on her chair in this case and not even leave some space for her, leaving her to stand and fume like a chimney? And still basking in the glory of your so-called joke?
Then came the most ridiculous part - I finally decided that I couldn’t, and shouldn’t tolerate that anymore, and scolded this joker, who still had the cheek to say that I vented my frustration on him after being angered by somebody else. I fathomed that he had said this because he seriously did not sense anything wrong with his actions, which is seriously, very serious. I thought I was on cloud nine before the joker came. None of my family or friends had EVER done this kinda thing to me. I felt really really disrespected and on some other past occassions, insulted.
I have never seen a case like this, where I felt that even a stone could have sensed the tension and anger building up in me, not to mention a living human. I have concluded that this is a case of extreme insensitivity and childishness, coupled with ZERO situation awareness. Period.
*If you happen to have survived such ordeals, pls donate some advice in counteracting this "syndrome". I think your help would go a long way. Thanks. I certainly wish that this could be the LAST straw, but it certainly isn’t going to be!!

since u already know it will not be the last time… either u choose not to care too much abt the joker’s reaction, or have a good talk with him nicely..
